How do I run auto payroll?

Natalie DM · ‎July 23, 2020

Hello,

Is there any option to run direct deposit payroll automatically every pay run without me having to manually press Run every 2 weeks? I noticed the US QuickBooks has this feature, but it's no where to be found in the Canadian QuickBooks Online... Is this not a feature we have here in Canada and am I stuck doing the payroll manually for the rest of my life?

Hi Natalie DM,

Welcome to the QuickBooks Online Community family! It's great you're using Online Payroll to easily manage your employees' wages. I can see how not having to manually press Run payroll every pay period could be handy in the running of your business. I'll be happy to share more about this.

QuickBooks Online Payroll gives you control over your books to ensure they're always accurate. At this moment, the Auto Payroll feature is not available in the Canadian version of Online Payroll. If you'd benefit from additional options in managing payroll, feel free to submit feedback directly to our engineers. Your comments are crucial in driving innovation to offer the best QuickBooks experience we can.

Have a nice day.

Has there been an update to this? Any targeted delivery date for this feature to the Canadian market?

I have some employees set up to be paid bi-weekly and for those individuals, I have auto pay set up for them.

I have a smaller group of employees who are set up to be paid on monthly basis. Can I set up auto payroll for multiple pay schedules?
